This article explores the importance of intersectionality and critical thinking for social work students and how this paradigm can develop a more nuanced understanding of Black and South Asain mothers. By using intersectionality as a framework, we can begin to understand and problematise unequal power relations and structures that lead to marginalisation and social injustice.

The literature considering Bourdieu's social theory and its relevance for social work is multifaceted and growing. An evaluation of this body of work is now pressing. This critical literature review explores 34 published works on this subject. Six themes emerged from a thematic analysis of the corpus: (1) the intersection between class and poverty; (2) power and symbolic domination; (3) neoliberalism and the state; (4) reflexivity; (5) relations between social workers and other professionals; and (6) the critique of Bourdieu's thinking and its relevance for social work. The findings show that Bourdieu's social theory can augment critical and radical social work, especially when the concepts of habitus, capital, field and reflexivity are embraced. Significantly, though, it was discovered that the 'symbolic' part of Bourdieu's theory had been incompletely covered and required much more attention, as it is integral to the understanding of oppression in society.

This rapid review explores research that relates to trans people and social work, with the aim of investigating the experiences of trans people in social work. The article is concerned exclusively with research that platforms the voices of trans people, specifically, those whose input is in direct reference to their experiences in relation to social work. However, the exploration revealed no studies that reference the perspectives of trans social workers. Key recommendations include: the responsible inclusion of trans identities within educational and professional development materials; a visible commitment within social work to confronting transphobia; engaging with practice beyond a binary comprehension of gender; and renewed commitment to person-centred practice that promotes and understands the necessity for self-identification. Additionally, this review restates the need for further ethical research in this area that is more accurately representative and enables the voice and influence of trans people in social work knowledge production.

Racial socialization of African American youth has been found to be a buffer for some of theracial discrimination they face as youth. It denotes the manner by which parents communicateboth unspoken and explicit messages or ideas about the significance of one’s nationality in abroader social context. Considering the important factor of skin color in the racial socializationof African American youth is needed as the world becomes increasingly multicultural. This studyprovides a descriptive analysis of the attitudes based on parental preferences towards skin colorof a sample of African American college students in a rural university in the Southern UnitedStates. Using Spearman’s Rho and MultiCrit framework, the analysis reveals a strong correlationbetween parental preferences for a certain skin color and participants’ skin preferences.Implications for social work and for the study of racial socialization are discussed.

Social justice entails opposing discrimination and working towards eliminating structuralviolence. The problem of overrepresentation of Indigenous peoples across Canada’s criminaljustice system, a site of structural violence, has persisted for decades. Most studies uncoveredthrough this review and meta-analysis indicated Indigenous disadvantage in criminal sentencing.Specifically, Indigenous peoples were at much greater risk of receiving punitive sentences thannon-Indigenous people. Additionally, the disparity was observed to be significantly greateramong women than men. This synthesis also elucidated the paucity of data and research relatedto Indigenous peoples’ involvement with the court system. Implications and future researchneeds are discussed.

Informed by the intersectionality and social justice perspectives, this article examines twoprominent schools of thought in criminology, namely strain and labelling theories. Our analysisreveals that strain and labelling theories have not adequately attended to social justice,particularly systemic oppression, in their explanations of youth crime. We propose the use ofrestorative justice as an alternative framework that may address the limitations of strain andlabelling theories.

Climate change is dismantling social protections through both direct effects of disasters and theindirect consequences as communities attempt to recover, which often exacerbates trauma andparallel known risk factors for recidivism among returning citizens. As a discipline, social workmust wholly recognize the links between environmental injustice and other primary factors ofinequality such as race and class, which also increases the likelihood of incarceration followedby re-entry into society. Green jobs programs can allow society to address two seeminglydisparate issues: recidivism and climate change, offering practical and mutually beneficialsolutions. By building on the decarceration movement’s efforts and following examples fromLos Angeles and Chicago, the field of social work can continue to advocate for green jobs as anopportunity to lead climate change and recidivism mitigation discourse while simultaneouslyoffering solutions to the most pressing issues of our time. The authors argue that this form ofmultisolving on micro, mezzo, and macro levels is the future of the field.

Although various policy analysis frameworks exist within the social work literature, fewspecifically address the racism inherent to policymaking processes. We propose interestconvergence as a conceptual lens for policy analysis to expose the racism inherent inpolicymaking. Transcripts from 19 public hearings of five bills sponsored during the 2017Nevada legislative session were included in the data analysis for this study. A thematic analysistook place at the latent level to identify underlying concepts, assumptions, and ideas within thedata (Braun & Clarke, 2006). Results indicate that the public testimony process and ultimateoutcomes of public policy making protect white interests which sustains structural racism. Inunderstanding the dynamics of interest convergence in policymaking, social work educators,policy advocates, and macro-practitioners would be better equipped to impact the policymakingprocesses focused on racial equity.
